Andrew 30 Report post Posted July 18, 2007 Who would’ve thought we’d see the day when BMW produces a front-wheel-drive car; well that day may come in 2010. According to a report by Automobilwoche, BMW is planning a small front-wheel-drive car that will be a direct rival to the Audi A1. The car is expected to measure 3.75 meters, sharing the basis of the MINI Cooper. CO2 emissionsis are to remain well under 100 g/km. The car will arrive at the end of 2010 after the next-generation Audi A1 makes its debut in 2009. It’s scary what these CO2 emissions standards are causing auto makers to do.

bravo 35 Report post Posted July 19, 2007 (edited) I don't like any BMW made after the e46/e39 generation except the new 6 series. TBH they could make a 3 wheeled car to rival the Reliant for all I care. When they start making good cars again, maybe. Like you say Gus, they are too mainstream. Audi is so rocking their face right now. Edited July 19, 2007 by bravo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
